2026 Orange County Restaurant Week Menus Now Live

Life is just better during OC Restaurant Week – March 8-14 Orange County Restaurant Week menus have been released in advance of the arrival of this year’s week-long culinary event, which returns Sunday, March 8 through Saturday, March 14 , 2026 . This annual dining adventure invites all of Orange County to come together to enjoy specially curated prix-fixe menus, inventive cocktails, and a vibrant lineup of participating restaurants across the county.

“OC Restaurant Week has never been just about specially priced menus, it’s about how it feels to dine out and connect with family and friends,” explains Pamela Waitt, Founder of OC Restaurant Week and President of OC Restaurant Association, Inc. “There’s a shared understanding that something meaningful is happening across our community as we celebrate the many individuals who are the backbone of our culinary community – from owners and chefs, to cooks and servers.”

For more than 17 years, OC Restaurant Week has been a highlight of the local food scene, giving diners the perfect opportunity to explore new restaurants, revisit favorites, and support Orange County’s dynamic culinary community. With offerings for every taste and occasion, OC Restaurant Week truly delivers a week of memorable dining experiences, and this year’s event sees new additions that represent the incredible diversity of the local culinary scene.

“We’re thrilled to support Garden Grove’s participation in OC Restaurant Week and help shine a spotlight on the incredible culinary talent throughout the city,” said Scott Oklin, Chief Marketing Officer, Visit Anaheim. “From its nationally recognized Vietnamese food scene in and around Little Saigon to its diverse mix of Korean, Mexican, and legacy neighborhood restaurants, Garden Grove offers one of the most authentic and culturally rich dining experiences in Orange County.”

PRIX-FIXE MENUS FOR EVERY PALATE

Guests can enjoy a wide variety of prix-fixe menus throughout the week – from affordable lunch options to elevated dinner experiences – with the ability to filter participating restaurants and menus by price range, cuisine type, location, and special themes such as Date Night, Brunch & Breakfast, Vegetarian Dining, Family Friendly, Luxe Menus, Wine Pairings, and more.
